Correct.

A good Christian believes, "My country, right or wrong. My country
may at times be wrong, but I will obey the laws of my country unless
or until they require me to violate the laws of my God."

A good Christian believes, "My boss, right or wrong. My boss may
sometimes be wrong, and I may tell him so in a proper manner.
However I will be the best employee I can be as long as the
requirements of my boss do not violate the requirements of my God or
my country."

A good Christian believes, "The husband right or wrong. The husband
is the head of the wife and the family. The husband/father may
sometimes be wrong, but should be a good enough Christian to
recognize when he has been in error with his conduct toward his
family and his responsibilities to them and rectify that matter."

Correct. :)

Does it now. I may be wrong, but it was my understanding that Hitler
was strongly influenced by Darwin.

What makes a good Atheist, Izz? Just curious.
